असत्यमेव संकल्पभ्रमेणेदं शरीरकम् ।
जीवः पश्यति मूढात्मा बालो यक्षमिवोद्धतम् ॥ १७ ॥

asatyameva saṃkalpabhrameṇedaṃ śarīrakam |
jīvaḥ paśyati mūḍhātmā bālo yakṣamivoddhatam || 17 ||

The will is a fallacy, and the body is a mistake;(because there is no mutation of volition or personality of the infinite intellect); and the ignor alone distinguish the living soul from the universal spirit, as the ignorant boy sees the demon in a shadow.
